Ager metro train banani hi thii (which i think is a good decision) to metro buss per paisa kiun barbaad huwa?
Well, I have not seen how Pakistan runs...Mind you I did take public transports and hence know what it is like....Look at the map of metro system and tell me again that you think that it is a thoughtless plan.
Your political ideas are getting ahead of you. You fail to see the obvious. The Metro system seems designed for a switch-over to all train operation. This is not only the case in Lahore but also in Rwp-Isb too. How is that bad planning?
I will agree with you that the priorities are misplaced. But I will disagree when someone alleges that Metro system is a waste of money. It clearly is not so. The beneficiaries are Urban poor and middle class. These people were totally ignored by the last government. Do you remember PPP' price hike of wheat in 2008/9? Do you know what it did to urban poor?
Your cynicism is incredibly myopic.
This was my exact reaction...Surprisingly you are not picked on but some people, who seem to enjoy picking my words!Well Like I defend Metro bus back those days, I would like to defend Metro Train once again. One big criticism is true that when you wanted to build Metro Train, what was the need of Metro bus?
Besides that I think it is more about wrong priorities. Any big city nowadays need a metro train with some of them additionally supported by Metro bus like projects. But we certainly needed Metro train before the bus service. We should have built this infrastructure at least 10-15 years ago.. and if the demand was still overwhelming, we could have thought of providing additional bus service in 2014.
That's really pathetic of Punjab Government to do what is right at later stage and make an infrastructure just to allure vote bank that we may no longer be as important after the Orange metro is built. Having said that, I believe most of the route of both Metro Bus and Metro Rail do not run side by side so it shouldn't be a great deal in the end.
Atleast they should fund the 23Billion PKR Metro bus system for peshawar from the federal budget.
With this much money,They can fund the metro bus in almost 5-6 cities.Once the metro bus was introduced into the top 10 major cities of Pakistan.They should have moved to Metro train but starting from karachi,since in karachi it is needed the most.
After 18th amendment provincial assemblies have all the power to take any decisions, if they want they can start ten projects for Metro trains tomorrow. The only cause to complain can be if Federation refuses to give guarantee (like it did in case of Punjab) which has not happened yet.
Those living in Khi/ Peshawar should ask this question from elected representatives.
Peshawar is the responsibility of KPK government not federal government, just as Karachi is the responsibility of Sindh government. This project is between Punjab government and China.

"Areesh, post: 5694548, member: 25703"]to hell with you and your 18th amendment. What I know that Karachi is being neglected by both provincial and federal govts and people of Karachi are being abandoned by both to die and rot.
Whole Pakistan is responsibility of federal govt. What type of BS is that???
Well stop electing people on the base of what language they speak and elect them on their qualification and what are they willing to do for the city or province that elect them.
Yes but mass transit and hiring and firing bus drivers is the job of the city.
So since these cities haven't voted for PML(N) so federal govt would left them to rot. Is this what you want to say?
Faisalabad deserves it before Multan as we are twice the size of Multan in population. And above that contribute 60% of exports. Kamau beton ka pehla haq hota hay.great...what about southern Punjab Multan, Bahawalpur..?
